Did Rahul Gandhi actually say 'Congress is a party of Muslims'?

The Congress hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for targeting it over minority appeasement and calling it a party of Muslims. The Congress said that the PM is spreading the "poison of hatred and division".

PM Modi who is on a two-day tour of Uttar Pradesh yesterday (July 14) said, "I have read in a newspaper that Congress president has said that Congress is a party of Muslims. I am not surprised as when Manmohan Singh was PM, he had said that Muslims have the first right over natural resources."

"All I want to ask is, is their party only for Muslim men or for women too?" PM Modi said at a rally. He said that the Grand Old Party's stand on triple talaq has exposed them.
